Chinese customers rarely know anything about Brazilian products, which typically feature nice design, exclusive materials and abundant creativity. Some good examples of the distinct Brazilian aesthetics are what Brazilian Gate is beginning to introduce to Shanghai residents. Most often, visitors walk into Brazilian Gate and ask for the retail prices of the eye-catching fashion accessories and Brazilian beer. But this is not your usual store. It doesn’t sell its products but only showcases items from seven Brazilian companies that intend to enter into the Chinese market in the near future. It’s more like a platform to bring together strong and capable Brazilian companies with Chinese businessmen who seek to invest in something different from the usual brands at their disposal. The companies currently showcased at the Brazilian Gate include Angela di Verbeno, known for the creativity of their handbags and shoes in leather and noble python skins; Brasil Sul, one of the most creative Brazilian brands of sportswear; Dado Bier, the premium beer of Brazil; Mormaii, one of the most famous surfing and sportswear brands in the world; and Solarium, a manufacturer of unique cement floors. It also showcases fashion brands Duelo do Brasil and Pelu. Probably the most eye-catching section is Brazilian Arenas, where four of the best-known Brazilian soccer teams are showing their plans for arenas to be constructed for the FIFA World Cup which will take place in Brazil in 2014. They are now seeking sponsors to name their stadiums.
